How WAGO works with startups

WAGO runs its startup program inside Stratosfare, the cross-company venture client unit it shares with Miele and others (since 2023), by its own account likely Germany’s largest. Startups get paid projects, keep all IP and equity, and pilots run 3-6 months along a clear path from request to integration.
